Operating Instructions
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ì Ambient operating temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore,
you should install the equipment in an environment compatible
with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature.
Ì Reduced airflow: Equipment should be mounted into
a rack with sufficient airflow to allow cooling.
Ì Mechanical loading: Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a
hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Ì Circuit overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection
of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any
possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Ì Reliable ground: Reliable grounding must be maintained at all times.
To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention
should be given to power supply connections other than the direct
connections to the branch circuit (i.e., the use of power strips, etc.).
Rack Mounting Instructions
To mount the appliance to the rack you need the delivered rack-mount brackets.
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly
procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions
that came with the rack unit you are using.
Important Note: Make sure you use the screws supplied with the rack-mount
brackets. Using the wrong screws could damage the hardware appliance and
would invalidate your warranty. Please observe the mounting instructions for
your rack.
1. Attach the rack-mount brackets to the appliance.
Place the appliance on a hard, flat surface with the front panel facing you.
Attach the rack–mount brackets to the left and right side of the appliance
with the supplied screws.
Make sure the brackets are properly attached to the appliance.
2. Choose the rack location.
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack so that you can open the front
door completely (~60 cm/25 inches).
Leave approximately 80 cm/30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack
to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
This product is for installation only in a restricted access location (dedicated
equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
3. Slide the appliance into the rack.
4. Attach the brackets to the rack with the appropriate screws (not included).
